Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Made Here Film Festival, New England’s
only competitive festival devoted entirely to films made by filmmakers of
New England and our neighbor, Québec. Made Here Film Festival is VTIFF’s
way of bringing our community to the world, with both in-person and virtual
screenings, and of supporting regional filmmakers with awards, special
panels and opportunities to get audience feedback.
We had 117 submissions to the festival, all of which were watched by our
jury of eight film lovers or creators from the region. The jury selected 39
films of all styles, genres, lengths and regions.
The festival is a partnership with Vermont Public. Our signature sponsors
are the Burlington Beer Co, whose beautiful red brick building has roots
in another “made here” venture - the original factory built by cinema
pioneers, the Lumière Brothers, who developed their unique Autochrome
photographic color plates here between 1901 and 1911. The BBCO bar and
restaurant will be open throughout the festival - a great place to hang out
between screenings. We are also grateful to other sponsors of the festival –
please browse their logos in this brochure.
Made Here Film Festival does not impose a fixed price ticket - please pay
as you can. VTIFF has pledged to share a portion of your donations with
the filmmakers.
Please come to the festival, support local and help us spread the word.
— Orly Yadin, Executive Director, VTIFF
